1. For me home is...
A place where I feel safe and comfortable. A space where I can relax and spend time with my loved ones.
2. The key to a successful interior design is...
A well-conducted conversation about the needs of the clients, their tastes and their lifestyle. Each project should be individual and meet the expectations of the people living in it.
3. I look for inspiration in...
Mainly by traveling, discovering cultures, customs and traditions in other countries. Observation alone brings great value to the design of a space tailored to its user.
4. In cooperation with the developer, the most important thing is...
First of all, trust that the designer will guide us well through the process and support us in making difficult choices. Without this, cooperation can become tiresome and take longer. Trust is the key to a successful project.
5. My favorite design style is...
I believe that in the modern world, styles in interiors intermingle. They complement each other and through this we can create something unique for the client. In my studio I don't just design in a "certain style". Each time I want to discover what my clients need and what aesthetics they feel best in.
6. The most valuable item in my home is....
In my opinion, the most valuable thing in any home are the people. It is for them that such a place is created to meet their expectations and needs.
7. The most common mistake in self-decoration of interiors is....
Unfortunately, the lack of maintained proportions in the interiors. Often furniture in apartments or houses is ill-suited to a given square footage and it looks unsightly.
8. My favorite material is...
All natural, noble materials that will always look good, and over the years maybe even better, such as wood, stone.
9. Trend that I would like to see pass away already is....
Scandinavian style, which has been superseded by farmhouse style - that is, its warmer version.
We gave up gray and white furniture in favor of beiges, earth tones and wood furnishings.
10 I would like, someday, to live in...
In the countryside away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. My dream, although I can more say goal, is to build a contemporary barn. Small, but cozy, in which you can relax.
